I've got another meme fic request to go along with the Living Hei Feizi Zhang Qiling. Now the Hei Xiazi x Xie Yuchen Heihua pairing gets to deal with their own snakes as Hei Xiazi inadvertently picks up something else with the blindness on that tomb raid.
It started with the Cockscomb Snakes flooding their tents constantly, to the complete exclusion of the other tents. The snakes don't feel like biting either Hei Xiazi or Xie Yuchen and would rather crawl into every nook and cranny of their bodies. Wanting to warm themselves and placing their eggs on top of their bodies.
Then the gigantic Yin Candle Dragon would close its singular eyes on the trip and approach Xie Yuchen in a manner not unlike a puppy. He made sure to scratch right behind the crystalline frills and under the littol leggy weggies.
The absolute last straw was the Albino Candle Dragon hitching an escape with Hei Xiazi after Gutongjing collapsed. Technically it was allowed to be a guest since it wasn't attacking anyone or inflicting pheromone visions on anyone. Xiazi nicknames this snake FeiFei (with the characters for 'luxuriant' and 'snowfall'. FeiFei happens to find itself interrupting intimate moments of Heihua. Snuggling with them in bed, the bath and at meals, demanding attention from both.
[Part 1 here]

For the headcanons thing, how about: 🧸👻🎶👽🦾💔🪢🔪💄😺😭 all for Maru. (He’s my favorite and I can’t get enough of him!)
(Thank you so much for the ask! This is going to be VERY rambly and the grammar/spelling is probably gonna be rough, but I hope you enjoy!)
🧸: I think Maru would have a pretty normal childhood. My headcanon is that one of his parents was a doctor/mechanic (The cars lore is really inconsistent if medical care providers are doctors or mechanics) and he spent a lot of time in their clinic/shop just watching them do their thing. Overtime, once he was old enough, he began to help them out and began to learn how to be a mechanic himself. Overtime, either out of boredom or actual interest, he taught himself to fix boats, planes and every other type of frame he could think of. By the time he was 18, he was just as skilled as others twice his age.
👻: Maru is terrified of failure. When you work a job where you are solely responsible for someone living or dying, messing up is a near paralyzing fear. In my headcanon, Maru was a mechanic on the set of CHoPs and a small, terrible part of him blames himself for Nick's death. He knows deep down that Nick was doomed the second he hit the ground, but there's still a small part of him that laments the fact that he might've been able to save him if he was only just a little faster, a little more prepared, a little more concentrated.
🎶: Maru enjoys country but isn't really picky. He likes to work with background noise, so he'll just listen to whatever Patch is playing over the speakers most of the time. If she isn't playing anything, he'll turn on an old radio he has and let the local stations play in the background.
👽: His weird quirk is that he sometimes sleepwalks (sleepdrives?). It's rare for him to do it now that he's an adult (I imagine it was much more common when he was a kid/teen), but when he does do it, he seems fully awake. The team has learnt ways to tell if he's awake and just a bit delirious or if he's fully dead to the world and actually sleepwalking. It was very funny the first time Dusty ran into a sleepwalking Maru after grabbing himself a midnight snack. Dusty didn't even realize Maru was sleepwalking until a very grumpy Windlifter, awoken by the noise, rolled out and shooed Maru back to his hangar.
🦾: I actually have 2 for this one! After a long career as a mechanic, Maru would probably have some chronic pain in his tines. Years of damage and abuse and the occasional self neglect have caused him to develop a consistent ache in his tines that can never be fully soothed. He has ways of taking the edge off, and it's by no means career ending, but it's still annoying. The other disability headcanon I have for Maru is that he has ADHD. This one is mostly vibes and projecting my own ADHD onto him, haha. His workspace is messy and he seems like he'd be the type to throw himself into a project for hours and hours, hyperfocusing on getting it done all in one sitting. The other PPAA members occasionally have to lure him out of his hangar for a break, otherwise he'd sit there for an entire day without eating or sleeping.
💔: Maru, Blade and Nick were VERY, VERY close. Maru, having taken formal training as a mechanic, (which I imagine is the cars universe equivalent of nursing school), has much better coping skills than Blade. (Aka he just compartmentalized to hell and back). However, questionable coping skills aside, he was never the same after Nick died. He has never admitted it to anyone but Blade, but every year, on the anniversary of Nick's death, he just lets himself break down. He'll avoid everyone all day and just let himself have a day to grieve someone he saw as one of his closest friends. The rest of the team has 0 idea why Maru suddenly locks himself in his hangar on that specific day and gets all sad, but they support him the best they can. The day after, they always do their best to make him feel loved and included, reminding him that their always there for him if he needs them.
🪢 (This emoji is broken on my computer, but I was able to figure it out on mobile): He is pretty close with his family. He does his best to visit on holidays and write them letters while he's on base. He loves his job as mechanic, but it does make him a bit sad that he has to spend so much time away from home because of it.
🔪: Maru is very scrappy. He may be small, but he has a variety of tools that would do just fine as weapons. He isn't the type to immediately jump into a fight, but if someone refuses to back down despite clear warning, then, well, it isn't his fault, is it? This is the reason he was NOT allowed to talk to Cad unsupervised. Cad was absolutely the type to say something shitty and then refuse to back down lest his poor ego be bruised. Blade, as much as he probably fantasized about it himself (and how Cad 100% deserved it), didn't want Maru to beat the shit out of the guy who controlled their budget.
💄: I like his canon vehicle design as is, so I'll give some humanized headcanons. I don't have a 100% solid idea of what he'd look like as a human, but I imagine he'd have a permanent stubble no matter how much he shaves and a very generic, short haircut. He is almost always wearing his baseball cap and the poor thing is probably FILTHY. His clothes in general are probably constantly caked in grease and whatever else has collected on the floor of his hangar. His usual attire would be a blue PPAA jumpsuit with a toolbelt looped through the belt loops. He's almost one of the shortest members of the crew (maybe only taller then a couple of the smokejumpers) and has a very rectangular body type.
😺: He doesn't mind animals, but he also isn't a massive fan of them. He finds the deere at the park nice at least, but other then that, he is very neutral on all of the wildlife.
😭: I know this one is already been apart of some other headcanons, but Nick's death by far. The members of the PPAA team who've died and had their pictures put on The Wall are also pretty traumatic, but Nick was the one he was the closest with. It especially hurt because of how it devastated Blade, Nick's death a very major part as to why Blade acts the way he acts. When Nick died, Maru not only had to piece himself back together, but he also tried his best to help Blade not emotionally implode on himself.

4 and 10 for Phin, 2 and 20 for Ringo, 24 for both?
10. What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC? I do love thinking about a Dragon Age AU for Phin since I love DA… and he’d be a Perfect Grey Warden. In D&D he’s already part of a paladin order specifically formed to fight undead onslaughts. So an easy equivalent would be that he signed up to be a warden during a Blight. He’d be fiercely dedicated to the Mission and the Code. But wouldn’t listen to the ‘don’t make emotional connections as a Grey Warden’ part 😔 I also love thinking of him as a DA companion. I think he'd be friendly and loyal, but also gullible and ignorant. His backstory is simple, but that means he has a lot of potential to be molded by the story and the player's actions. Here's an old sketch of him in Grey Warden armor
Tumblr media
24. What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?
I think the biggest one would be if Phin Wasn’t picked to leave home and find a way to lift his village’s curse. He had lived there for 30yrs - since he was born. Leaving it kicked off an enormous amount of Experiences and Growth. If he didn’t leave I can picture him staying there forever; in an isolated village; completely worn out after constant fighting; only being viewed as a weapon and not a person; unable to relate to anyone; probably in an unhappy marriage; etc etc. It’s not gud 
2.What's something about your OC that people wouldn't expect just from looking at them?
Man.. I Love drawing Ringo looking moody as hell since that’s his default mood. But in reality I imagine he’d be able to maintain a pretty good poker face. 
For real though, you probably wouldn’t expect that he used to be a little party beast in his youth.  And the way he liked his drinks was Paid for by wealthy older women 😳
24. What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions? Hmmmm it’s hard to talk about this since my fellow party members might see this and I want to keep Some things secret. 
I think Ringo has had several brushes with death, so things could have gone differently for him many a time.

Hi! If you’re still taking emoji asks, can I ask for 🎂, 🕷 and ❇️? Good luck with everything and hope you’re doing well!
I'm most likely always open to talk about my characters, honestly, but I'm glad you're also enjoying them! It was a hard week, ending a difficult month, but we keep moving, esp with Dec being one of my favs and soon.
fun lore fact for birthdays: things native to the Stellar can live for quite a long time, especially compared to the humans From the Other Side
🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE - when is their birthday? do they like celebrating it?
Rollo 🐶: born in winter, where your breath paints the air and a fog swirls around your feet. birthdays weren't ever a huge deal when he was younger, but sweet. he hadn't actually celebrated his birthday in a long time, unless Bear has made a big deal of it.
Sybille 🦊: born in the spring, when the world wakes to gentle rains, new life, and the rainbow of colors across the forest. there are large birthday traditions in the House of Fox, and Sybille enjoys them. but then, she enjoys a nice celebration and party, or reason to dress up.
🕷️ SPIDER - what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears?
Rollo 🐶: losing his connections or the feeling of home. as for mundane fear, I feel like he's not aware of it as he wouldn't have need to have spent a lot of time on a ship or out around the water, but he'd have a mild case of thalassophobia and dislikes thunder
Sybille 🦊: losing everything she's worked so hard for, at the end of it all coming up short, that it all was meaningless. she doesn't like needles, but suffered through it for her tattoo
❇️ SPARKLE - what is their most prized possession? what do they value?
Rollo 🐶: very few possessions mean much to Rollo, as somebody who had been on the move a lot and away from the only place he'd considered home before making that vow to Bear. but he has his favorite knives and the pendant he wears, he takes good care of it. he values more experiences and memories, of quiet naps and the tiny moments of gentle peace
Sybille 🦊: being rich, Sybille is not wanting. it's her massive fancy fur coat, however, that she takes great pride in. it is very important and a symbol of status for her, as well as something of emotional importance. she likes nice items, and she can be materialistic, but she values mostly things like skill, competence, or gumption. at least the will to say you're doing things, and then getting it done

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.
That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.
That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.
That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.
That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.
That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.
That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.
None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.
I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.
If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.
Celebrate fan work!
To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

Do you think rafe would wear necklace with his girl’s initial?? Like his girl bought it as a present and i’m curious on how rafe would react 😃
Tumblr media
"so what i'm hearin' is you got me somethin' with my own money?" rafe asks, looking down at the neatly wrapped box, a pretty white ribbon looped around it. your fingers play with the satin bow, anxious for rafe to open it.
"rafe!" you start with a whine but stop yourself. "it's the thought that counts, okay?" he laughs, taking the gift from your hands.
"sure, kid. whatever you say." he undoes the bow, setting it aside since he knows you'll want to keep it. the wrapping paper gets ripped up and off, while you protest that it could have been reused. he opens the box, looking down at a thin silver chain. there's a little pendant hanging down, the shape of your initial.
he looks up from the chain at you, waiting for his response with big eyes and parted lips. you're playing with your R necklace, the way you always do when you're nervous.
"d-do you like it? i thought we could match," you say quietly, biting you lower lip in anticipation.
"yeah?" he questions, taking the jewelry out of the box and into his hand, feeling the weight of it in his palm.
"only if you like it. you don't have to wear it, i just-"
"just what?" he looks you right in the eyes, wanting your real answer, not just you bouncing around his question from nerves.
"i just wanted to make sure everyone knows you're mine." you lip stings from where you're biting down, rafe look into your eyes.
he opens his arms, and you crawl into his lap, taking the chain from his palm and putting it around his neck, clipping it into place. you smile, pressing a kiss to rafe's cheek, his hands tight on your waist.
"got that right, kid."

Damian was placed in the Pits to prove he could survive as an infant. Only...the pits didn't give him back.
Danny was taking a trip to a weird, rank area of the Infinite Realms per Clockworks request, when a fuckin baby plopped in through a portal.
A baby.
Naturally, Danny snatched the kid up and flew as fast as he could back home.
He turns back to his human form just as the basement door slams open.
Danny stares up at his mom and dad.
They stare down at him.
"I found a baby in the portal," is the only thing Danny can make his mouth say.
His parents are thrilled to welcome another kid into the family, no matter how grumpy the little tyke seems.
In Nanda Parbat, Talia cannot find her son. He isn't in the pit; he just. Disappeared into it.
So he went somewhere.
She promises her father she will find Damian, but Ra's has another idea.
He calls Bruce Wayne to Nanda Parbat, with a simple letter.
"We have lost the child you had with Talia. My condolences."

“say you won’t let go” - some touch starved scenarios
prompt list by @novelbear
heart pounding whenever the other does so much as to hold onto their wrist while guiding them through a crowd
one just casually sitting down on the other's lap and they start internally freaking the hell out
hesitantly tugging the other's fabric of their shirt or sleeve, testing the waters
^^ the other notices so they pull them into a hug, smiling as they just watch them melt
"wait, don't go, please.."
"is this okay?" "it's more than okay."
already barely holding it together as they're getting their hand held but then they feel that reassuring squeeze and they just can't
wearing the others' clothes so that it can at least feel like they're hugging them, even for just a moment
feeling so lonely that they have to call their lover/friend, just to get a sense and reminder that they're still there
^ trying and failing to hold back their tears as they do so
"can i have one more hug?" "aw, babe you don't have to ask, c'mere..."
when the other holds onto their waist briefly as they're passing by and it just send chills down their spine
breaking down mid-hug because they just needed this so much
their breath hitching whenever the other gets a little closer
^ feeling crushed when that action is taken as a sign of discomfort, and they watch them slowly back off
holding onto a stuffed animal/pillow, imagining that it's their lover in their embrace instead
one leaning their head onto the other's shoulder suddenly and they just freeze
"i wasn't sure how much longer i could have taken this..."

Delivery!
Flash was currently being held captive in a black of ice. How he got like this he wasn't sure. All he remembered was that he was running across Central City keeping the peace until suddenly an ice beam shot out of nowhere and froze his feat to the ground.... and the rest of him.
"Alright you got me! Show your face!"
"Well I was going to regardless. No need to yell." Out pops Danny Phantom carrying a bag with him and holding out an envelope.
"What? Who are you?"
"My name's Phantom. Danny Phantom. I have a message for you. I couldn't get your attention earlier so I thought this was just the next best way to get you to stop." Danny said as he unfreezes the speedster.
"Uh, okay." Flash said as Danny gives him an envelope.
On the envelope there are drawing in crayon and stickers and in marker it says: to Flash.
"It's from Susie, she'd said you'd remember her."
He remembered a Susie, a little girl that he used to see in the children's hospital. She had leukemia. He spent any minute he could making sure the kid was smiling when he was there. He was heartbroken when the nurses told him that she had passed away before he could give her her birthday present. Flash examined the crayon written words, it was just like Susie's writing.
"How did you?"
"Just read it."
The letter reads:
Dear Flash,
I'm sorry, I wasn't there when you showed up for my birthday. I never got to tell you, but thank you for being at the hospital with me when I was scared of going to treatment or when I had to take my medicine. Thank you for making me smile even when I didn't feel well. Thank you for playing games with me when I couldn't go outside. Thank you for talking to my mom and dad at my funeral. That was really nice. I drew some pictures for you but I never got to finish them when I was in the hospital so I drew you some new ones. Danny says that he'll give them to you.
In the envelope was a series of different colored papers all with different crayon and marker drawings of Susie and him playing in different scenarios. One where she was a doctor and he played the injured patient. One where they were both superheroes. Another one where they were playing shadow puppets when she wasn't feeling well. Page after page were different drawings of them playing with the last one was covered in glitter with a big heart with a crayon drawing of him and Susie.
"Susie said that her biggest regret was that she couldn't say thank you to her hero before she passed. So I bumped her up on my delivery list."
"What?"
"Oh yeah, I never fully introduced myself. I'm Danny Phantom, you can call me Danny. I'm the designated delivery person for the afterlife to the living realm. Any messages or special requests from the dead are delivered by me!" Danny hands him a business card all official.
And it does say: Danny Phantom special delivery service for those of the non-living variety!
"She also said she wanted to give you one last hug before moving on."
"What do you?" Flash is halted from saying anything else as he feels a pressure against his legs. He looks down to see a translucent small figure. She was a picture of what she looked like before the chemo. Susie gives him a smile and a hug before fading before his eyes.
Before Danny officially takes up the mantle of Ghost King he's trying to do a job that would have him interact with all of his citizens first so he could get a feel of it. Hence him making connections with both the living and non-living people (he went big-brain for this idea)
Extra scene:
"Oh that reminds me, I have a card for you from someone else."
"A card?" Flash opens the card only to get sucker-punched in the face. (like one of those cartoon boxing glove punches)
"A punch card." Danny said
Flash groans as he looks at the card that has the words: STOP MESSING WITH TIME! from CW
Obligatory Gotham Scene:
Danny standing in front of a beaten up Joker that has been tied to a chair.
"Just so you know I have a back order of a lot special requests for you. And since I can't exactly kill you, that would create so much political tape. I can let them make requests for certain actions. So right now I have over 50 requests for me to break your legs and over 30 to pull out your teeth and break your jaw. Some of them contradict each other because they want to make every word you say hurt you but others want me to curse you so you can't speak again. So I'll just have to get creative." Danny says winding his arm back and form.
He is for sure being completely professional about, he gets no personal gratification from beating up a crazy clown at all. (said nobody ever)
